Here is what I'm getting (needed to test this anyway, thanks for asking).

EXT3 about 1.5Mbytes/sec:

adsdebian:/mnt/hda# df .
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2              1027800     16428    959164   2% /mnt/hda
adsdebian:/mnt/hda# time dd if=/dev/zero of=foobar.ext3 bs=128k count=1024
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out

real    1m21.735s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m33.680s


VFAT about 1.5Mbytes/sec:

adsdebian:/mnt/hda# df .
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2              1042172         4   1042168   0% /mnt/hda
adsdebian:/mnt/hda# time dd if=/dev/zero of=foobar.vfat bs=128k count=1024
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out

real    1m24.010s
user    0m0.040s
sys     0m13.470s
adsdebian:/mnt/hda#

Does anyone have any empirical evidence as to the ep93xx IDE throughput available using the latest linux-cirrus-2.6.x kernel? Something along the lines of 'time dd if=bigfile of=/dev/hda'?

I realize that DMA is not (yet) functional; I assume PIO modes 0-4 all work though?

Just trying to get a handle on an upcoming project. Thanks for any and all input.
